Wang Jixuan had already thought it through before leaving.
If Old Fu didn't have something serious this time and just called him over for teppanyaki, he would slide tackle him as soon as he got there...
But it wouldn't matter, he could just see Combat Maid.
Ling Tong was getting busier and busier, and the number of times they met could be counted on one's fingers. It would be great to meet this time.
When Wang Jixuan arrived on the first floor, Ling Tong was waiting by the elevator door with her hands behind her back, leaning against the wall.
She had obviously dressed up specially today, changing into her favorite tight jeans, a light gray short shirt with a few holes in the shoulders and cuffs, and platform shoes that gave her already tall figure proportions close to those of a manga character. Her face, with light makeup, had less of the battlefield's hardships and more of a delicate, almost breakable tenderness.
After the mechanical arm was covered with simulated skin, although it lacked some of the impact of the mechanical and flesh parts being stitched together, it also made her less aggressive.
When others were with Ling Tong, most would subconsciously ignore her age because her aura and eyes were too sharp.
In fact, she was only twenty-two years old this year.
Ling Tong first nodded lightly to Peony behind Wang Jixuan as a greeting, and then looked Wang Jixuan up and down, saying softly:
"You look good."
"Why do I feel like you've suddenly become more beautiful?"
Wang Jixuan, who liked to tell the truth, took the initiative to extend his right hand.
Ling Tong was obviously stunned for a moment.
She looked left and right, and handed over her right hand, then realized it was wrong, and quickly changed to her left hand.
"I have a mechanical arm... It's just simulated touch..."
"I see other people doing this," Wang Jixuan explained calmly, holding her left hand.
Under the caress of his fingertips, there was indeed an undeniable mechanical sensation.
Wang Jixuan calmly walked forward, and after a few steps, a team of patrolling soldiers appeared ahead.
Ling Tong whispered, "Pay attention to the military camp atmosphere."
Daoist Wang naturally released Combat Maid's hand, only to find that there was a blush under her crystal-clear skin.
Was she shy?
That was quite interesting.
"What does the Commander-in-Chief want me to do again?" Wang Jixuan casually brought up a topic.
Ling Tong immediately returned to her usual state: "A Commander-in-Chief level meeting will be held at the surface military camp of Fortress 39 in Oriole Heights, which is the fortress that was previously destroyed by Blade Beasts."
"Why would they ask me to go to this kind of meeting?"
"Black Storm needs to make an appearance," Ling Tong said quickly, "Those attending this time include the Commanders-in-Chief of the Fourth to Ninth Comprehensive War Zones, and a retired Deputy Commander-in-Chief from the D1 Comprehensive War Zone."
"No one from D2 and D3 is coming?"
"They tried to send two Deputy Commander-level officials who sided with the Spirit Energy Capital, but the Commander-in-Chief refused."
"I understand, those who came are all our own people."
Wang Jixuan turned his head and called out to Peony, who had deliberately fallen ten meters behind:
"Bring over my newly made Black Suit."
— The other members of the Pinnacle Maid Corps were still on duty at the front line, so Peony had to make a trip herself.
Fu Jian was waiting for him in the transport plane. After meeting, there was no need for small talk. He threw a stack of documents to Wang Jixuan.
Daoist Wang read along the way and only felt dizzy.
The information Fu Jian gave was the composition of the internal forces of each war zone.
Each war zone was 'interlocked'.
Although the overall trend of the Comprehensive War Zones was relatively simple, either leaning towards Fu Jian of D5 or the Six Elders of the Spirit Energy Capital;
But in reality, there were different opinions within each Comprehensive War Zone.
Except for the three war zones D1/D2/D3, most of the officers in the other war zones still considered issues based on the human standpoint. Overall, whoever could lead humanity to victory, or bring greater hope, would be able to gain everyone's support.
As the transport plane was about to land, Wang Jixuan hadn't finished reading even a third of these paper documents, so he simply stopped reading.
He rubbed his forehead and muttered, "Old Fu, just tell me directly, what am I going to do today?"
"You don't need to do anything, just watch from the sidelines. I need you to witness and understand the internal opinions of humanity," Fu Jian's mechanical face remained serious.
Wang Jixuan widened his eyes: "Then why did you make me read these documents?"
"In case you were curious."
Ling Tong pursed her lips and smiled from the back seat.
Wang Jixuan: …
Damn it.
…
Regarding this meeting, Wang Jixuan had an impression before, and Peony had reported it several times.
He changed into the classic Black Storm suit and followed behind Fu Jian, with Ling Tong on his left and right, entering the venue as the finale.
The venue was generally oval-shaped, with a large round table with dozens of seats.
Now is the era of fortresses, and military power overrides politics, but every time this level of meeting is held, there will always be representatives from the Joint Governing Council of the Comprehensive War Zones.
— Half of the people are just here to make up the numbers and talk nonsense.
As soon as Wang Jixuan appeared, all eyes in the room immediately converged on him.
The dozen or so Marshal-level and Deputy Marshal-level figures in the human camp present had more or less learned about the Black Storm's deeds and knew some information.
Fu Jian arrived at the table.
"Stand up!" Dongfang Zhenghong shouted from the corner.
Amidst the sound of chairs being pulled, a group of old-fashioned semi-human mechs and gray-haired politicians stood up at the same time, following Fu Jian in performing the military salute of the human camp.
Stirring music sounded from all directions.
This music had no lyrics, but it could make people feel an unspeakable sense of heaviness.
Many of the slightly younger marshals looked at Fu Jian with a bit more fervor in their eyes.
Fu Jian simply said: "Sit."
Everyone took their seats, their posture more standard than before.
Zhang Huanying, who was beside Fu Jian, began to preside over the meeting, announcing the agenda of the conference; two teams of mechanical bodies waited outside the door, all of which were loyal wingman series with models weaker than Peony.
After some necessary and boring opening ceremonies, Fu Jian took the microphone.
"Same as before, long story short, gathering together is an extremely dangerous thing in itself, but this time, I felt it was necessary to call you over."
"First, I'll show you a few things."
Mechanical bodies brought in twelve crystal core greatswords, all of which were the initial versions made by Wang Jixuan.
Fu Jian didn't directly take out the strongest batch of greatswords.
To prevent accidental touches and injuries, mechanical bodies protected these marshals throughout the process.
Soon, the meeting ushered in the first wave of enthusiastic discussion.
"Can this weapon be modified into a ranged weapon?"
"What is the cost?"
"How is the durability? However, cold weapons are still too useless. Equipping assault teams is okay, but it's difficult to form a battlefield-changing situation."
"Old Fu, where did you get this thing? Did you really dig up some ancient ruins? This thing doesn't seem to be any precious alloy. Being able to mobilize spirit energy is the most important thing."
Fu Jian leaned back in his chair, revealing a relaxed smile, and said with a smile: "Black Storm."
The gazes of the generals and marshals towards Wang Jixuan were mostly of admiration.
After the first round of display, Fu Jian signaled each war zone to put away these greatswords as souvenirs of the meeting.
Afterwards, he added: "Huanying is also here. Everyone should be curious. She hasn't shown herself for a long time."
Everyone nodded.
Zhang Huanying continued: "The reason for inviting everyone here this time, especially the Commanders-in-Chief of each war zone, is also to help you comrades extend your lives."
Mechanical bodies brought in trays, each with a total of sixteen Crane Essence Pills.
Each of the old semi-human mechs attending the meeting had one.
The mechanical bodies operated accurately. These old marshals, out of trust in Fu Jian, didn't say much, but just quietly felt it.
The venue was quiet for about an hour.
This was the necessary time for treatment.
As Wang Jixuan was dozing off, the entire venue suddenly became noisy.
A group of old marshals directly surrounded Fu Jian, while Fu Jian smiled, crossed his arms, and leaned comfortably in his chair, with an indescribable expression of comfort.
"Old Fu! Give me five! Five is enough! I'll take off my core components and give them to you to kick as a ball!"
"Bro, where did you get this thing? Did you really tame the spirit cultivator? Awesome, big brother!"
"Commander-in-Chief! We need three here! Urgent!"
Fu Jian calmly raised his hand and pressed down, and the surroundings immediately quieted down.
"It's not that I'm deliberately holding you back or asking for exorbitant prices. Everyone is a warrior fighting for the survival of humanity, and we should help each other."
"It's just that this thing is extremely precious, the raw materials are very difficult to find, and the output is limited."
Fu Jian said sternly:
"Black Storm doesn't eat or drink, and two months of production has already been used up by you."
"I have a list here, all in the appendix of your meeting materials. Don't worry, it's not those high-priced consumables that we use, but the special ores needed to make this 'Crane Essence Pill' and crystal core greatswords."
"This plant material is widely distributed, but the quantity is very small."
"Get the materials, wait for the time, and I will send you the Crane Essence Pills."
The marshals returned to their seats and rummaged through the documents that they had been too lazy to look at before.
The crystal cores above the general level, various ores, and various herbs that Wang Jixuan had asked Fu Jian for were all in this table.
The eyes behind Daoist Wang's helmet... were shining brightly.
Old Fu is really cunning.
Now, he is equivalent to having the cultivation resources of most of the human territory!
Fu Jian clapped his hands for the third time, and the third batch of mechanical bodies entered, holding boxes.
Fu Jian said slowly: "The things we prepared for you today have all been brought out now. Don't say I'm deliberately being mysterious, take a look."
"Old Fu, where did you get so many good things?"
"Black Storm, are you interested in coming to our war zone as a big treasure?"
"No wonder, Lao Fu, you've been acting like you're on steroids lately, going head-to-head with the City of Psionics. If I suddenly got my hands on these new technologies, I would have taken them on a long time ago! I'm surprised you could hold back until now!"
"What is this?"
"The first transformation array diagram of the Seven Stars Sword Formation?"
A buzz went through the venue.
Fu Jian raised his hand to quiet the crowd and said slowly, "This is the highlight of today, and the reason I called you all here. Given the current situation in the D1 Comprehensive War Zone, this transformation diagram will not be shared with you for the time being. I hope you understand... Alright, everyone must now promise me and swear by the thing you cherish most."
"Swear to what? Do we need to swear with our relationship?"
"You must swear... Under no circumstances should these things in your hands be given to the City of Psionics; they can only be used for Semi-Mechanized Mechs and Mechanical Bodies."
Fu Jian said slowly:
"If the situation weren't dangerous to a certain extent, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to promote it.
"This kind of sword formation is just beginning to be promoted in our war zone.
"What you have now is the most basic version. What I'm promoting in the D5 Semi-Mechanized Mech Force is the intermediate version. Its complete form is the advanced version. Without Black Storm's permission, we cannot promote it on a large scale for the time being.
"As for its actual combat effect... Ling Tong, the rest is up to you."
Ling Tong took a light breath, stood up straight, and replied firmly, "Yes!"
She was obviously a little nervous, but this nervousness quickly turned into excitement. She walked with standard military steps to the open space in the middle of the oval conference table and activated the holographic projection.
"Commanders, please pay attention. I will play three real combat videos, which are my first-person perspective, overhead perspective, and slow-motion analysis of the sword formation.
"These three real combat videos are taken from three battles to encircle and suppress King-level Blade Beasts, and we have won all of them!"
The holographic projection immediately magnified, covering half of the venue, making people feel as if they were on the battlefield, following the fifteen-meter-tall mechs constantly charging forward.
Ling Tong gave a detailed explanation from the side.
Wang Ji Xuan watched with interest from the side. Because of the interweaving of light, Ling Tong seemed to be shining at this moment.
If the announcement of the Crystal Core Greatsword, this psionic weapon that can use the crystal core of the Blade Beasts and mobilize the psionic energy of the air, made the commanders present excited.
Then, the commanders who had personally experienced the efficacy of the He Yuan Pill had already seen a glimmer of dawn.
That was a glimmer of dawn that would allow the strength of the human camp to be improved in a short period of time, allowing those veterans with outstanding achievements and extremely rich combat experience to return to the battlefield and counterattack the Blade Beasts.
At this moment, the announcement of the Seven Stars Sword Formation and the demonstration of its actual combat effect had already made these commanders almost crazy.
Ling Tong introduced it for more than half an hour.
These commanders were mostly Fu Jian's juniors, and they didn't put on any airs in front of Fu Jian. They went down to personally experience it.
Under Ling Tong's guidance, they experienced the basic positional changes, and put on the special Bagua compass that Wang Ji Xuan had made for the Semi-Mechanized Mech team, feeling each other's positions while changing positions, and perceiving the rotation of psionic energy around them.
When they took the Crystal Core Greatsword and jumped again according to the positions, the crystal core on the greatsword resonated directly!
A group of white-haired old men and women carefully studied and experienced the wonder of this, and the scene was also a bit comical.
This meeting, which should have been serious and dull, almost turned into a martial arts competition.
Wang Ji Xuan sat in the corner, a hint of smugness arose in his heart, and then he suppressed this emotion.
He smiled freely, and his mentality returned to calm.
If these things were all created by him, then he could indeed be proud.
These are just some entry-level things he brought from the Immortal Cultivation World, and he just made adaptive improvements.
He doesn't seek power, he only seeks righteousness.
After this meeting, the internal pressure of the human camp facing the City of Psionics will definitely rise sharply!
... ...
It was already dusk when Wang Ji Xuan returned to the studio.
He actually felt a little exhausted.
The last part of the meeting was for everyone to have a meal together, and several theater commanders with similar political status to Fu Jian pulled him in for all kinds of close contact.
This was much more tiring than attending the Supreme Elder's once-a-century birthday banquet, which lasted at least half a month each time.
Ling Tong rushed to the front line again to teach the Seven Stars Sword Formation to the battle maidens.
Everyone in the studio was also busy.
Wu Man was working on the foundation of the Mountain Guardian Great Array. The Great Array would be completed in three or four days and could protect the first to fourteenth floors.
Uncle Tai and several old scholars were doing research on the improvement of the Demon Piercing Dagger assembly line.
Wan Xiaoqi pulled Gao Huating to play video games in the corner.
Gao Huating suddenly froze at this moment, turned her head and stared at Wang Ji Xuan, who had just flipped in through the window.
Black Storm!
Wang Ji Xuan took off his helmet and threw it on the coat rack in the corner, humming a little tune, untied his tactical gloves, and took off the 'Zhou Tiantian' mask from his face.
Whew - I'm free.
Huh?
Daoist Wang felt that a gaze was not quite right, looked up, and met Gao Huating's eyes, who was staring wide-eyed with shock.
